For the past decade or so I’ve mostly had a windows rig for gaming, and a dual boot laptop for travel/work (windows for Microsoft Access/PowerPoint, Ubuntu for everything else).

An odd issue I ran across was drive data format; it caused unending issues with steam/lutris when installing games running under wine/proton to drives formatted for windows (they’d just not run, no error messages till one day I tried to force it via terminal and got an error I could search via Google).

In the end I just partitioned off the drive to a native Linux format and that fixed it (had to dump the contents of the drive to a portable which took a while!), but now I am wondering if there was another alternate workaround?

    Not what you asked, but i switched my wife to OnlyOffice and she can’t find much difference betweenit and MS. For myself and most importantly, I switched my work system to OnlyOffice and my coworkers haven’t had any issues with files I shared with them.
